Art of Religion
Inspired by faith and depictions from the past. Most of these paintings were created by local artist and is on display for public viewing. My interest in art grows every time we visit galleries and exhibits. I fell in love with the works of our National Artist Juan Luna. I still remember how I felt chills all over my body the moment I saw his colossal creation "Spoliarium."

Thanks for joining me in this short walk thru the gallery. I am no art expert but we can all tell if we love something just by looking at it. History and background is a great addition to our knowledge but sometimes we just need to sit, be silent and just appreciate the artistry.
Have a good evening Steemians.

Great post! I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Thanks I just wish feelings that are left are always good but that is not the case.
Thank you so much for taking us on this wonderful walk through the gallery. I have a fondness for religious art, for many reasons. First of all I am a deeply religious person and second of all, I think it teaches us so much about history. There is so much history in religion.
Your photographs were exceptional and your explanations were very helpful. So thank you very much and I hope you have a wonderful evening.
Tip!

Very interesting religious collection. I love those arts as I can learn about the religion better through such visualization.
Sometimes it's best just to stare at it in quietly. Looking at the colors and brush strokes
Yup, I love to do that as well. Just staring at those patterns and blank my mind.
yung mga gawa nang pinoy talaga namang kakaiba.. May sarili itong description para mamangha ka sa bawat pag tingin mo.. galing galing..
Totoo bro pati ako napabilib. Lalo na ung baptism iba talaga.
